St. Petersburg, FL Cocoon On edit: The Rookie, a movie about a Tampa Bay Devil Ray seems to be an obvious choice but according to IMDB was filmed almost entirely in Texas, with scenes at the Ballpark at Arlington.

No offense to New York but I'd just like one Boston movie that doesn't involve bloodthirsty Irish mobsters and/or obsessed Red Sox fans.

He only played well in April and just sucked BHMC the rest of the time. Besides he can't slump, he's a Dominican and has natural abilities so if Reyes ever performs poorly it's because he's a lazy loafer who just doesn't care about the game or the fans. Our in-house experts at the CPF determined this months ago.
